Will Apple Charge for Logic Update?

I expressed surprise earlier this week that Apple's Logic didn't get an update at NAMM, but Apple has publicly confirmed an update is coming, reports Harmony Central. The new update will add import support for GarageBand 2 and track-wide pitch and timing correction (those features are currently available in plugin form, but presumably this will make them easier to get at). And finally, Logic will include latency compensation (competitor MOTU DP added this in version 4.5).

The bad news: no date, no pricing, and Apple will charge a "nominal fee." Let's hope that's a truly nominal fee (like $20) for shipping a DVD, and not an upgrade fee; Logic is a brilliant product but its upgrade pricing policies have left users irate. The product's great and it's selling G5s, so go easy, Apple.

Updated: Cris 'Atariboy' writes me to point out Logic does have latency compensation, just not on busses; this release would add it on bussed effects and instruments.

Thank you!
